If you are looking for a perfect solo day trip, Milwaukee is a perfect destination. My favorite place in Milwaukee has to be the Milwaukee Art Museum. Just the structure itself is a piece of art. I love to go during the week when it’s quiet and and I can get a close look at all the art. It is a meditative experience that I first learned of while visiting the Orsay in…

It’s Labor Day weekend. The last hurrah of summer. I know it sounds cliche, but did summer fly by in the blink of an eye? It sure seems that way. Is it true that the older you get the faster time passes? It feels that way! Now that Summer is on its last leg and dreams of everything pumpkin flavored is right around the corner, it’s time to take a look…

Travel and shopping are like peanut butter and jelly to me…they just go together. There is a reason why I love Cedarburg so much-shopping! I make several trips to this cute town north of Milwaukee several times a year. My good friend Beverly lives in Cedarburg and since her and I both love to shop, many of those visits include a trip downtown to check out the many shops that line Cedarburg…

Door County offers something for everyone Each summer, Door County in Wisconsin is flooded with tourists from all over that come to enjoy the water, great food, even better shopping, and a host of other things. It’s a great place to getaway with the family, but Door County welcomes couples as well as solo travelers. There really something for everyone here.

Love craft beer? I must admit that while I LOVE wine, I do enjoy dabbling in trying different craft beers from time to time. We’ve come a long way from the days where you basically had a handful of choices when it comes to beer. Most of it tasted the same (okay, kind of), but as far as originality, there was little. Beer brewing is actually becoming an art form and the brew…

Opening in 2008, the Civil War Museum in Kenosha tells the story of the Civil War from the perspective of the upper midwest. This museum focuses on the stories not only of the soldiers who went to battle, but of all citizens and how the war effected their lives during and after the war. The museum is located down on the lakefront of Lake Michigan. One you have completed your tour of the Civil…

I am a 50-something Wife to a fabulous non-traveling Husband and Mom to an independent college age Daughter from small town Wisconsin.
At the age of 48 I took my dream trip to Paris on a tour, but as a solo traveler. It took being thousands of miles from home for me to discover myself.
Although Paris is my #1 destination, I love to explore my home state of Wisconsin and anywhere else my travels take me.
My mission is to inspire women to conquer their fears and follow their dreams through travel.
I also love to write about my book addiction and all the challenges and joys of midlife.
